Remember to Clear Your Sidewalks
Please remember to clear snow and ice from sidewalks and other paved walkways. This is an important safety and accessibility consideration for pedestrians, especially those who have ambulatory disabilities, young children and seniors. The obligation for clearing snow and ice accumulation from walkways adjacent to commercial and residential properties in Prince George’s County is based on the Abutter's Ordinance.
The ordinance requires responsible parties remove accumulated snow and ice from abutting sidewalks within forty-eight (48) after snow has fallen or ice has accumulated to a depth of at least 2 inches. Those responsible persons failing to clear their abutting sidewalks within 24 hours will be issued a Reminder Notice/Door Hanger by a DPIE inspector. If the responsible person fails to clear his/her sidewalk within 24 hours of being issued a Reminder Notice (or 48 hours from the end of the snow event), that person shall be issued a citation for a fine of $100. Another citation will be issued for each subsequent 24-hour period that the snow and ice accumulation continues to obstruct the sidewalk.
